Wells

GovXParagraph2

The data package contains information and data from 20 wells that were drilled offshore Israel between the 1970 and 2013 (See list of wells and location map below). The package includes wireline log data in LAS format, composite logs, End of Well reports and for some wells, also additional technical reports and information. Most of the wells are located in the eastern part of the offshore area outside of the bid area, however, many of these penetrated the Mesozoic section and therefore provide insight on the early evolution of the Levant Basin.

2D Seismic data

GovXParagraph3

The offshore area of Israel is covered by numerous 2D seismic lines that were acquired between the 1970 and 2008 (See coverage map in Data and Maps). The data package for the first bid round contains regional, high-quality 2D seismic data sets that were acquired by TGS-NOPEC in 2001 and in 2008. These two surveys that are processed in time domain cover the entire bid area. The package comprises of time migrated stacked lines in SGY files. X/Y coordinates are edited within the trace headers and the lines are ready to be loaded into any standard interpretation station. Raw, field tapes can be purchased for additional cost.

Gravity & Magnetic Data

GovXParagraph4

A regional set of gravity and magnetic measurements was acquired during the seismic acquisition of TGS-NOPEC in 2001. This data set that covers almost all of the bid area and is provided in the data package.​​​
